    CP sorry you are having a bad time at work. Are you leaving that job?

    I went out for drinks with work last night and spent £10 on drinks and £9 on taxi. So £41.50 / £55

    Thank you PP...it's just full of backstabbers, and I'm tired of getting abused by those we look after. But I'm off to my dream job- trainee jeweller - in...ten days! Then only another three days after that before I never have to do another shift in that place ever again :D

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    Well of my Miscellaneous money for this week, I have spent £2 :D I'm quite proud of myself really, it wasn't that difficult. And now I have some money to save for a treat :)

    £2 / £5
    - I think I'll aim for that again next week, it was only compromised by the threat of office collections for birthday gifts / charity! And while I like to stay in budget I don't want to appear a scrooge.
    Thank you competition posters!
  • Hello Everybody!

    I'm declaring green for the week on £16.45 :j Actually all spent on the same day - had an evening out with a friend, but not bad considering it was dinner and drinks.

    I'd like to declare £30 for next week please pointy (more dry cleaning to collect)

    Glad to hear you have another much better job to go to. What kind of things do you need to learn to become a qualified jeweller?

    Spends for me yesterday were £3 on card at work for breakfast and coffee and then £3 on lunch. So £47.50/£55 for the week which makes me green.

    I am very excited today as I have finally booked our summer holiday to Cape Verde:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Green week - only £14.52 spent. A fair bit of that was on cards - my friends birthday and 3 sympathy cards, for my cousins and Aunt, after my Uncle died.

    I'd like to stick to £20 next week too please, as its my friend's birthday so we'll be having a few drinks
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
